NAME
       sg_rep_pip - send SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN command


SYNOPSIS
       sg_rep_pip  [--help]  [--hex]  [--maxlen=LEN] [--raw] [--readonly] [--verbose] [--version]
       DEVICE


DESCRIPTION
       Sends a SCSI REPORT PROVISIONING INITIALIZATION PATTERN command to DEVICE and outputs  the
       data   returned.  This  command  is  found  in  the  SBC-4  draft  standard,  revision  21
       (sbc4r21.pdf).


OPTIONS
       Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.

       -h, --help
              output the usage message then exit.

       -H, --hex
              output the response in hexadecimal to stdout. When used once the whole response  is
              output  in  ASCII hexadecimal, prefixed by an address (starting at 0) on each line.
              When used twice the whole response is output in hexadecimal with no leading address
              (on each line). The default action is the same as giving the --hex option once.

       -m, --maxlen=LEN
              where  LEN  is  the  (maximum)  response length in bytes. It is placed in the cdb's
              "allocation length" field. If not given (or LEN is zero) then  8192  is  used.  The
              maximum allowed value of LEN is 1048576.

       -r, --raw
              output the SCSI response (i.e. the data-out buffer) in binary (to stdout).

       -R, --readonly
              open the DEVICE read-only (e.g. in Unix with the O_RDONLY flag).  The default is to
              open it read-write.

       -v, --verbose
              increase the level of verbosity, (i.e. debug output).

       -V, --version
              print the version string and then exit.


EXIT STATUS
       The exit status of sg_rep_pip is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see  the  sg3_utils(8)
       man page.
